We already discussed about the 4 marghas or paths to realize the ultimate truth. They are as follows: 1.   Karma Yoga is where we attach the importance to the action or actions in our work life. The philosophy that is attributed to is ‘Work is worship’. 2.  Gnana Yoga is where we attach the importance to the pursuit of gathering knowledge and intelligence. This includes gaining knowledge about ‘Brahmavidya’ or ‘The science of gods or the knowledge of the ultimate reality’. 3.  Bhakthi Yoga is where we attach the importance to worship and devotion to God and to the ultimate reality. 4.   Kriya Yoga or Kundalini Yoga or Raja Yoga or Transcendental meditation is the path where we gain experience (post acquiring the required knowledge of the ultimate reality) by both efforts - the upward traversal of the kundalini sakthi  through the 7 major chakras (journey) situated along the spine of the human body and by knowing the ultimate reality (destination) and coming into contact with the eternally divine and blissful Adi Para Sakthi. There are 2 concepts tied here. First, experiencing the ultimate by transcendental meditation and second, merging with the ultimate at the time of death called as 'Mukthi' or 'The Great Merge' or 'The Great Liberation'. Unfortunately, the chakra systems are fully developed to an advanced state only in humans and not in the animal or plant kingdoms. Even in humans, there are some (like Rishis and Maharishis) who have very advanced chakra system and there are some (like hunter gatherers of the past) who have a primitive rendering of the chakra system. We have seen in one of my early writings as how the chakra system and the modern Maslow’s hierarchy are related in an interesting manner. It is considered that for the unawaken soul, the Kundalini Sakthi lies at the base of the coccyx like a coiled serpent waiting to be raised up. We have seen the below in my earlier writings – 1.      The brain centric physical body through the Karmendriyas experiences the contact actions on itself. 2.      The heart centric ghost body through the Gnanendriyas experiences the feelings and emotions. By this, the outer physical body also experiences some effects like laughing, crying etc., 3.      The Pranamayakoshana inside the astral body experiences the tanmatras (these tanmatras are like common denominators of similar experiences happening in all souls in all life forms) 4.      The Karanashariram or the soul (also store house of all the impressions that was picked up by it in its journey through possibly several life forms) lies beyond all these experiences. How does one experience the presence of soul and its state? For this experience we need deep insights into Brahmavidya and the knowledge and practice of Kundalini Yoga. Where will the soul lie w.r.t to the chakra systems? For advanced ‘good-hearted’ souls, the likely place of presence of the soul is the solar plexus or the ‘Anahata chakra’ or the ‘heart chakra’. For somebody rudimentary (like some wild animals) say lacking empathy/sensitivity, the soul is likely to be present in some other chakra below the Anahata chakra. I take my knowledge gathering endeavours (by book, music, talks, meditations etc.,) quite seriously. While at my due diligence, I try to ‘connect the dots’, ‘solve the zig saw puzzle’, ‘complete the incomplete aspects’, ‘complete the missing part of the pattern’, ‘fill in the missing pages’, ‘investigate like how Mendeleev tried to complete the periodic table’ etc., The key is not to rush to conclusions but to be patient and wait for the right clues. Here is where being a polymath helps – you may get the clues from any field of knowledge areas that you may come across as a polymath! Based on the above thoughts, I believe the below aspects are true. The soul present in the Anahata chakra is considered to be in its natural state. This is because the awakened and raised Kundalini can be rested here. By default, the chakras are in closed state and while you are meditating on the chakras, they may open. But after the meditation state, it goes to closed state again. Say, a person is attempting to experience the soul and its state by the Kundalini Yoga. 1.      If the person, is ‘good-hearted’, he may not have much difficulty in raising the Kundalini Sakthi from the base to the heart chakra in his initial attempts. 2.     If the person, is a bit basic and rudimentary, he may not be able to raise the Kundalini Sakthi much. 3.    The difficulty encountered in raising the chakra is called as ‘Knots’ or ‘Granthis’. These knots are to be resolved by carefully curating the soul by practising yoga, exercising good deeds/thoughts, performing selfless services, through devotion and by the practice of Kundalini Yoga (a.k.a Raja Yoga, Kriya Yoga etc.,). 4.    In ‘Lalithasahasranama’ , there is mention about the 3 granthis lying on the path of the kundalini sakthi trying to travel upwards along the spine. (please see the reference) 5.    Above the heart chakra, there are 3 main chakras – Vishuddhi chakra or the throat chakra, Ajna Chakra a.k.a ‘the third eye’ and the Crown chakra or Sahasrathalam or Sahasrahara. 6.    The Kundalini traversing to these chakras (Visuddhi, Ajna and Crown) will enable a person to reach the higher levels of Maslow’s hierarchical constructs. This happens in a deep state of meditation and once the mediation is over, the kundalini now falls back to the Anahata chakra and rests there. It will not be returned to the coccyx once raised. Please note that even without the raising of the Kundalini Sakthi, some people may have a feeling that they have reached the top levels of Maslow's hierarchy. But I believe that the same higher level experience may become a profound and deeply enriching soulful experience if those people successfully practice Kundalini Yoga! (something like observing the snow versus observing the snow flake under a microscope!!) 7.    While, passing through the chakras, the kundalini sakthi makes the person equate to or understand the relevant experience of current or past lives stored in the soul as impressions. 8.  Points 6 and 7 are corollary. i.e you are developed and/or you may recall/enhance the developed states present already. 9.   When the Kundalini sakthi reaches the crown, the person may experience euphoric bliss which is supposed to be the default state of being of the great and divine Adi Para Sakthi. This Kundalini Yoga is not for the ordinary and definitely not for kids. Please refer to the book by ‘Gopi Krishna’ where he has explained other physical and mental traumas while practicing the Kundalini Yoga. It has to be done only with the spiritual guidance of a master. You may consider taking it up after you have passed some considerable time in the Grihastha phase. Since this practice makes you observe your self as a third person and analyse yourself, there may be some effects like the tempering of the animalistic sex drive.     References: https://www.fitsri.com/articles/three-granthis-brahma-vishnu-rudra Gopi Krishna, 1970, Revised Edition (ISBN 978-1-57062-280-9), Shambala Publications, “Kundalini – The Evolutionary Energy in Man”   Hari Om!

The explanation of Runanubandha from the reference given below is: The concept of runanubandha suggests that every individual we come into contact with has a karmic tie to us. These associations may be either favourable or negative, depending on the nature of the activities that we have taken in the past. As an instance, we could have good connections with those who have assisted us in the past, whereas negative connections may exist with others whom we have caused damage to. I believe the concept of runanubandha exists not just in a physical sense but also in other areas such as – -          Sharing of karma -          Triggering of an intuition or an emotion -          Triggering of thoughts I always have this notion that we should be mindful about whom we are accepting help from including friendships, monies, jobs and favours. This is because of runanubandha. I have been awestruck considering the astounding ways in which the divine Adi Para Sakthi is weaving the stage for the expending of karmic debts by the zillions of souls in this universe. I have also considered about her penchant to create motifs, reuse, recycle, follow patterns, honour symmetry and balance, to use the least charge of energies possible to support a manifestation etc., So it is highly possible that she uses runanubandha as a means to arrange souls in proximity to expend karmas. Consider the following scenarios: 1.      In one of the lifetimes, a lady (soul with less karmic intensity) in order to gain wealth willingly becomes a consort to a mafia person (soul with high karmic intensity) and sustains this relation for a prolonged time.   Though the lady did any do any crime on her own, the runanubandha between them can be expected to drag this lady’s soul into all the contexts/realms where the mafia person’s soul travels till the karmic debts are settled! Her act of receiving illegal money from the mafia person tied to criminal activities can push her soul into deplorable conditions. At the same time, her acts of compassion during the same lifetime may offer some protection to her soul.   Her resentment to continue this relationship, her act of repentance and discontinuing the relationship and possibly some of her acts of positive karmas may redeem her from this runanubandha.      2.      Say in one of the lifetimes, a noble sadhu (soul with high karmic intensity) employs a cleaner (a soul with low karmic intensity) to clean his mutt. The cleaner may be uneducated and earning paltry sum. Let us assume that this cleaner has spent considerable time in this work.   Because of this runanubandha, the sage’s soul is expected to drag the cleaner’s soul wherever he goes in his next births till the karma is expended. Fortune may favour the cleaner and he may be born into a rich family or become an educated person in his next life because of this runanubandha with the noble sage.  So I request the readers to be aware of this rub-off effect and protect yourself from any potential harm in this life time and in the others that may follow.   Copyright © 2023-2048 Vijayabhaskar Natarajan.

Let me start with a disclaimer - I am not an expert on Jyotisha Sastra. I am just looking at the mammoth volume of information originating from this body of knowledge ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyoti%E1%B8%A5%C5%9B%C4%81stra ) and I am unable to dismiss it as some kind of fiction. I think this body of knowledge needs to be looked at with all the seriousness it needs to understand its relevance better. Astrology, as a body of knowledge, is as ancient as once can think of. It is said that once upon a time, Sage Parashara looked about the skies and sensed the signal for a profoundly auspicious time. He immediately spoke to a fisherwoman who was helping him cross the river and requested to help to conceive a child on this auspicious time – a child that can benefit the mankind for eons to come! Thus, was born Sage Veda Vyasa who organized Vedas and who wrote Mahabharata that is serving mankind with divine intelligence till today. Originally astrology is part of Vedas itself and was called as Jyotisha. If we consider the parts of Vedas or Vedangas – the parts are listed as below, and some context is added from the references listed below: 1.     Shiksha - Shiksha is the study of phonology, phonetics, and pronunciation.   2.    Chhanda- Chhanda deals with the analysis of the types of meters used in the construction of various Vedic hymns.   3.  Vyakarana- Vyakarana deals with Sanskrit grammar or the analysis and decomposition of words, word formation, root words and complex sentence structures, providing useful insights into the usage of words and sentences leading to the mastery of the language.   4.    Nirukta - Nirutka deals with the etymological interpretations or explanations of obscure words especially those found in the Vedas. Technically it deals with the difficult and obscure words of a dictionary, whose analysis and interpretation is vital to the study and understanding of the Vedas which are replete with mysterious symbolism not usually understood by all. (Remember from Lalitha Sahasranamam - that even a single long word can be broken into several types of fragments giving raise to different interpretations!)   5.   Jyotisha- Jyotisha deals with the astronomical and astrological aspects of fixing auspicious date and time to perform various Vedic rites and rituals including the sacraments or rites of passage. The auspicious time is usually determined based on the position of the luminous bodies (jyotis) namely the sun, the moon, the stars and other heavenly bodies.   6.   Kalpa- Kalpa deals with the practical, ceremonial, sacrificial and ritual aspect of the Vedas. Technically it is the applied science of the Vedas. The method and the manner in which the sacrificial ceremonies and daily household rituals have to be performed are established in a compendium of sutras or aphorisms known as Kalpa Sutras, categorized together as shruti literature. Kalpa literally means sacred rule or law, or ordinance and sutra means a thread.     To quote from one of the references below: The Jyotisha of today is wider in scope and purpose than the original Jyotisha of Vedic period. It is now divided into several branches and subbranches and cater to a wider audience for purposes other than performing Vedic ceremonies. Once considered to be an ancillary subject, the astrology of today is a profession by itself often practiced by people having little understanding of the Vedas and the Vedangas.   I always thought that there has to be a way to inform about any significant destiny changing events to the mankind from the divine so that he can plan for contingencies. For this reason, I tend to think that the divinity is using the Jyotis or the space canvas with celestial bodies as a medium to inform on the significant events and time that is coming up in the event horizon. When we look at the space, we are only seeing (after a lapse) a past rendition of the surrounding celestial bodies. But when you consider this in the perspective of Jyotisha- it means those renditions are signalling something about the future to the mankind that we are observing in the present! What a unique way to tie past, present and future!   To make Jothisha Sastra more relevant the following needs to be done: 1.    With divine blessing, this body of knowledge showed be researched and developed and combined in line with the modern knowledge collection and dissemination systems. Care should be taken enough since this is considered as an esoteric subject and not pure science hence and solid faith and divine blessings are essential. Ideally, a faith based religious/spiritual organization may find more success in exploring this body of knowledge than the scientific institutions. 2.    The true professionals of this Shastra should help the general public to identify the quacks from the real ones. The practice should be formalized and properly institutionalized. 3.   Since, the karmic load of a person/group is ADHRSTA, negative speculation of future happenings should be avoided at least in the context of a single person. 4.    I believe that certain personal effort towards mantra-chanting, sacraments, rituals and worshipping can strengthen the ICCAHA SAKTHI and can help imbibe this divine knowledge better. The strength built in such a manner which helps to master this knowledge is diminished by unintended but laterally induced bad karma due to negative speculations. 5.   Such Jyotisha Sastra induced speculations can be amply supported by divine intuition related practices such as Prasannam, Nimitaa Sastra etc., which also should be properly researched and developed with divine blessings and solid faith. Here again, ideally, a faith based religious/spiritual organization may find more success in exploring this body of knowledge than the scientific institutions. We have to remind ourselves that this kind of Nimitaa Sastra can be having an ancient origin and may take different forms like use of cowries in Hinduism or use of tarot cards else where. The study has to be done both in a religious sense and in a spiritualistic sense.   References: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanga https://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism/concepts/vedangas.asp https://openpathshala.com/sandhi-in-sanskrit https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/viccheda https://indicportal.org/vedanga-jyotisha/ https://astrosiva.in/what-is-prasannam-what-is-ashta-mangala-prasannam-and-chozhi-prasannam/ Hari Om!

Let me start with some insight into the spend on cybersecurity operations. Quoting from the References: In 2023, spending in the cybersecurity industry reached around 80 billion U.S. dollars, with forecasts suggesting that the market will eclipse 87 billion U.S. dollars by 2024. Global spending on cybersecurity has been increasing since 2021. The belief is that ‘Data is the new holy grail’! and hence for all the right reasons, including to avoid existential crisis, organizations and governments are spending millions as protective, proactive measures. And hence, believe me – this spend on cybersecurity is going to be raising in coming years to epic proportions! Now I picture this – EXAMPLE-1: Person A sees a picture of a guy in a local meat shop. Possible interpretation by A:  The guy has come to buy food for his family etc., Assume that while looking at this picture, A hears an audible smirk. Possible interpretation by A:  This guy has come to buy food for his family, and he is likely to be cheated Assume that while looking at this picture, A hears a cursing word. Possible interpretation by A:  This guy has come to buy food for his family, but he is not sensitive about the poor and hungry. I will give another example: EXAMPLE-2: A local community decides to build a school in their community. Every body agrees and are happy with the decision. A business man, pitches its idea - that instead of a park, a warehouse can be built that can generate employment opportunities for the locals. (what kind of bias forms in the mind at the word 'business man'?) A community group led by a real estate magnet, says it is better to build a shopping complex. (what kind of bias forms in the mind at the word 'real estate magnet'?) A local politician, advised by a lobby group, wants to enhance the local economy and thinks of building a industrial estate with warehouses and shopping complexes in it. (what kind of bias forms in the mind at the word 'politician'?) Everybody decides to vote and then there is no clear majority! The plan is shelved temporarily for a year or two. And the kids continue their trip to the nearby neighbourhood schools. Despite the 'bias' mentioned above, why is there an impediment?! So on and so forth. What are we witnessing? Mind manipulations, information and psychological war fares being launched at one’s sub-conscious mind not only by the hidden criminal minds but also by others who are plying their trade through various media. A combination of subconscious inputs coming through varied media outlets, also distorts the perception (This is dangerous!). Reinforcing, repetitive such events, builds an alternative unviable or unacceptable belief system inside an ordinary person! Are we letting the people life their life in an unchained manner? Who may be doing this? AI technologies like recommendation engines, ‘customers also bought’ options. These technologies should be 'off' by default. Paid social media, TV channels and cinemas. Instead of the government, business houses and ideological organizations own the media houses with possible profit as a motive. At least some of these options should be genuinely owned by those wishing people all the goodness. Goodbye to - good olden days that gave us well researched/carefully thought articles without bias! Lobbying agents pushing for policy changes via carefully curating politicians and by planting advertisements and television episodes (even sometimes scenes are carefully set to push a hidden agenda). Hiring celebrities and using their popularity to push products or any such. This is akin to sending messages to you that you would avoid normally by targeting your subconscious mind. (the celebrity you like, anchors your mind and the message that you would normally avoid gets sent to your subconscious mind) Sometimes alternate ideologies, cultural changes and more are pushed inside your minds through any media that you may come by - say even from ad boards in the train station! Bias and selective hearing aggravates this condition.   If you are a serious spiritualist, you have to avoid this dangerous and deep pit fall. If you are allowing yourselves to be manipulated by others, especially by targeting your subconsciousness, then, in a spiritual sense, you are still a primitive and not ready. What is the antidote for this condition? For Individuals – Be highly individualistic and make sure the choices you accept are validated by your own in-built value systems. Read a lot, be a polymath, be gentle and open. if possible, travel and widen your knowledge horizon. Believe in reinforcement learning – and if any subject touches you deeply, know about it from multiple sources. Sometimes – enjoy seclusion and meditate. Sometimes, get cured in the lap of mother nature. Be connected to arts, music, reading and if possible – writing too. (I have personally experienced the fact that, you gain lot more clarity when you put your thoughts as words). Stay away from over exposure to media and settle for talking with your genuine friends. Whatever be your profession – give it your 100% and enrich your understanding of this profession in each passing day. Be mindful about evolution and involution in a single life! Don’t be a net consumer – give it back to the society in some form.   For groups – Invest in building appropriate value systems in children at schools. Control your media and technology products, responsibly, and not be only profit minded. Identify eminent and genuine personalities and give them limelight in the society. Remove social evils like lobbying if the people’s will and interests are being violated in the process and that tends to make, democracy a laughingstock. Impart psychological principles and modus operandi of manipulating agents (as individuals or as groups) as part of fundamental learning to help make people be aware of mind manipulating techniques, information and psychological war fares. Build policies and laws favouring the general public and aimed at thwarting any media-based content dissemination that is altering their state of mind (without them knowing or noticing) in a negative way as part of ensuring and upholding ‘Freedom of Choice”. Common man is not a sophisticated person – hence the informed and well learned decision makers should make sure the group policies support them in their ‘Freedom of Choice”. This is because – each man, has to live life to the fullest extent using his own “FREE WILL”. Any direct or indirect mind-bending techniques is nothing but a CRIME that is not acknowledged by existent legal systems. Hence, even technology-based systems and media should give the common man a choice to redeem his free will under all circumstances and that should be effort less to do. Reduce the information overload (especially technology aided) on senior citizens and make their life a lot more less stressful. For example, When they need help, they need a human to speak to, not some advanced voice activated automated systems! A person who is subjected to such persistent sub-conscious assault (he may have a penchant for a stream of content of a particular genre, or he may be a generalist), – instead of becoming a flowery bush, he eventually becomes something like a thorny/flowery bush and finally into a withering thorny bush!!   We are all giving so much thought and consideration for cybersecurity because the money involved in launching attacks or to counter it runs into billions. Money makes it count! What about this large scale, psychological damages or impairments or impediments being set (though, perhaps sometimes - no harm in really intended!) to general public in a subtle and/or overt way ? Shouldn’t we take our mental health seriously?

If not a super soul or an advanced soul, the state of being an ordinary ‘soul’ is full of disquiet and/or suffering. There are perhaps a greater number of yet to be born souls, in this universe, than there are number of species’ of any kind! The pressure to be born is immense! Consider this. Humans are now considered to be the apex species. There are perhaps trillions of souls wishing to be birthed through any womb in general and human female womb in particular as the power to think, ideate and discriminate in a human, may lead to ‘Mukthi’ or eternal salvation – a state, free from any suffering and/or disquiet.  When such is the ‘sacred’ state of the human female’s womb/birth-canal, evil and abnormal practices like FGM should be penalized and stopped as mark of respect for the human females. Also, we should stop even condescendingly dishonouring them and accord them equal status in all walks of life, since they are likely to go through their 2nd or more, painful births during the delivery of her child(ren) from her womb! Another powerful reason why they should be integrated into all the important decision-making bodies – private or government- is this motherly tendency- a tendency that, I believe, is still untouched by any antagonists or his/her stooges. Human females can play the perfect balance to the exaggerated machismo stereotypes that we see in this world. In fact, I believe that if they have been accorded equal status in the truest possible sense, the world would not have witnessed this many wars and events like nuclear explosions. The pressure to be born is met with resistance from the natural order that is mindful of the resources that are available to feed a growing population. Either it will use cataclysmic events to restore balance or push the waiting souls into the wombs of relatively lower (with a penchant to consume lesser resources) but karmically matching orders of species’. So, for all the above important reasons and more, we have to take a deeper look at the abortion as a standard medical procedure. Consider the below points: The human embryo starts developing the nervous system around the 3rd-4th week of the pregnancy signalling its capacity to understand pain. (assuming the soul has fused by now) The soul in the embryo will have impressions that it has entered a womb and destroying that embryo is akin to killing it though it is not fully formed! Garbo Upanishad says that the soul in certain advanced pregnancy state, is likely to get some visions/impressions of its past suffering and is likely to start repenting its past ‘sinful’ lives, if any, and pray to divinity - to let it be born and that it will take, all care, to not lead another sinful and wasteful life!! These embryos can detect any danger and is likely to scream in the ‘Madhyama’ mode (refer to the human vak system blog) if it senses any danger and it is likely to be cursing and crying once it understands the outcome. It goes through a resenting period full of great sorrow, as its much-awaited birthing is being terminated abnormally! Garbo Upanishad says, at the time of birth (either when the child’s head is coming through the birth canal or when at a suitable stage of the relatively newer C-section procedure) , a kind of special prana called – Vaishnava Prana, rises up from the base of the skull and passes out through the crown, only once – thus wiping out all the past knowledge and memories returning the child to its blank state except for its basic intuitions. It even forgets its sorrowful state when it was in the womb. The passing of this prana is likely to be the reason why sometimes the child is expressing crying as a first action after birth. In extremely rare cases, this wiping is not done completely, and the child either shows extraordinary intelligence for its young age or very rarely, it can even remember past lives! Thus, abortion adds negative karma to the couples involved and adds negative karma to the group karmic load for the society that allows abortion as a very liberal and standard practice. This is made worse, if the society does not, take a strong moral stand against abortions and also not have some sort of critical evaluation system to judge the termination itself before allowing it. Thus, abortions should be allowed only for the most deserving cases. Hence as a responsible society, the law makers, doctors, parents and community elders, should take a critical moral stand on the need for abortion. They should permit it only when all other options are exhausted and that the abortion procedure is considered a must for the girl (or her partner) to continue living a normal life. Appropriate sex education, anti-pregnancy (disabling the sperm and/or egg through medication and thus removing its potency to form embryos) preventive care etc., should be made known as part of formal sex-education and the process to trigger it should be formally institutionalized with perhaps more than one approvals. At the same time, young ones should be made known the relatively high, financial and moral costs of getting into a pregnancy and then later needing it to be terminated. There should be appropriate deterrent punitive measures that are well publicised. Women opting for abortion, especially the young ones, should not have a very lenient/liberal view about the abortion procedure such as – ‘just a little time spent in the clinic to remove an inconvenience and nothing more’! They should stay sensitized on the negative side of abortions. Finally, please refer to my article on 'The Essential Divine Blessing' - https://www.mayoan.com/post/47-the-essential-divine-blessing . Procedures like IVF and C-sections, were perhaps developed without the the spiritual guidance and blessings or perhaps it was considered adequately. These procedures- either when they were conceived or when they are practised in the hospitals, needs to be blessed spiritually by invoking the divine attention by appropriate prayers and sacraments. The divine attention is likely to remove any seen/unseen obstacles and dangers that can manifest in such endeavours. It is also expected to look at the unseen aspects and smoothen any problems/issues and escalations in the endeavour and complete it perfectly in every sense possible. Simply put - Humans can never beat nature generally and specifically so in simulated processes as in genetically modified crops, cloning, IVF and C-sections. Consider this simple example- A person wants to travel from a place A to a place B. He can pray before travelling or he can choose not to. Without the essential divine blessing: He gets the ticket - may be at a higher price and he completes the travel in an uneventful manner. With the essential divine blessing: He gets the ticket at a lower price. The seat is comfortable and is a window seat. The next passenger is able to help him with his new job search. The rain prediction did not come true. He met his childhood friend on the way when he opted to go to a restaurant to complete his lunch. And so on and so forth. I hope the above message is received appropriately. Hari Om! Copyright © 2023-2048 Vijayabhaskar Natarajan. All rights reserved

It is generally perceived that, Garbo Upanishad by Sage Pippalada is a minor Upanishad. But I disagree. The true content of this phenomenal literary work is lost in time and needs to be recovered and processed to fully understand its contribution. For me, this literary work may be holding the key to understand what happens in the Prakruti and for a recently deceased soul when it transgresses from death to another birth, assuming its karmic load is preventing it from ascending to heavens. I also believe that the consideration as a minor Upanishad should not be made based on the length of the content but on the weight of its true content. This is also true in case of another Upanishad – The Mandukya Upanishad, which too like Garbo Upanishad is considered minor based on its length, but when read by an intelligent mind, behaves like a bolt from the sky - releasing enormous amount of grandeur. These contents may shock us for a long time! There is another reason why the true contents of the Garbo Upanishad and any similar related ancient texts should be recovered if possible. They try to also solve the purported social issues related to the acceptance of same sex couples in the society by dropping essential hints on the natural processes related to the (human) soul entering a womb. I would like to mention that I am a straight heterosexual person. But I like to have an unbiased mindset. I constantly lookout for universal truths and righteousness to being in peace and bring acceptance to my mind. From the above-mentioned texts, that too in incomplete parts, I understand, and I try to connect the dots and complete the logical picture about what happens to the soul looking out for a new womb. The following is considered to be true: In humans, only the gross physical body (Sthula Sharira) has the sexual organ. And the mind, considered to be part of the dimension-1 universe, takes the identity of a male or female based on the predisposition at birth. The astral body or ghost body (Sukshma Sharira) is transient body and will not support the basic functions of eating, sleeping and fornicating. Hence ghost assumes the identity as male or female only based on the legacy status of the mind when it was hosted still in a living body. The Soul (Karana Sharira) is asexual. It only stores impressions, and these impressions can be from any of the past lives, in which the soul might have born as a male or female or anything else. A soul can have an overwhelming sense of masculinity and hence will have the tendency to be born as a male. Similarly, a soul can have an overwhelming sense of femininity and hence will have the tendency to be born as a female. Similarly the soul may have no overwhelming sense of masculinity or femininity and may have the tendency to be born as anything that it wants to be at the time of fusion to the egg/embryo. Super souls and advanced souls try to be born in the same sex as when they were existing in the higher realms or in their previous births. They also do not change their preference about their natural sexual orientation when they appear as avatars. Sometimes, overwhelming karmic loads can make a soul to be born as a male or a female. Sometimes, the surrounding group karmic influence (say a soul being born in a society that prefers male child), or some remnant past boons/curses/rules etc., can make a soul to be born as a male or a female. Some super souls may have personal preferences to be born as a male or a female or anything else based on the planned goals and objectives of the intended avatar. For some souls, they may have a slightly majority inclination towards masculinity and for some souls, they may have a slightly majority inclination towards femininity. In either of the case, and at the time of fusion to the egg, the Garbo Upanishad says that they get a glimpse of the male/female pairs that are/were in sexual union intending to cause the fusion of the soul to the egg/embryo (there is still some confusion around the time of fusion of the soul to the egg/embryo). At time, the soul may show a preference or likeness for either the male or the female. We have to note that for some advanced and super souls this preference is preset due to their legacy preference of sexual orientation. Based on the above context, the following, but less probable, outcomes may happen: 1.      A soul which is to be born as male may have a liking for the male of the fused pair and hence, they may end up as a male having gay sexual orientation. 2.      A soul which is to be born as female may have a liking for the female of the fused pair and hence, they may end up as a female having lesbian sexual orientation. 3.      The other states of LGBTQ+ can be explained based on the degree of liking that the fusing soul may have on the male or female or both, that caused the fusion. But what we have to be looking at in these outcomes is that these cases have slightly lesser probability of occurrence as nature seems to prefer heterosexuality. Also, IVF is a relatively new procedure and I believe that the soul may still witness the involved male and female, at some stage while fusing with the embryo. I have no issues with accepting this natural process induced sexual orientations and the society should accept them for their natural tendency and extend equal rights and other perks that a normal citizen of the state receives. There cannot be any persecutions for their natural preferences. But if the sexual orientation is set through some artificial process, say for instance by a sub-culture existing in places of gathering such as dorms, it takes a poisonous propensity. It leads to an abnormal state of the society where, say for example, more men may become gays while the women stay normal! Then this state of the society becomes a silent and gathering storm leading to decadency and other untellable problems. Let us have the highest respect for the natural processes and let the natural tendencies stay natural and let us not let anybody/any-group mess with that through artificial and abnormal sub-cultures!   References: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbha_Upanishad Swami Sarvapriyananda: Mandukya Upanishad, 1 of 6  -( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scLipiyG6ns&list=PLffj4m28VxZCbPl9erWwV3wNBhfbkjOI7 ) Hari Om!

Here is the disclaimer - What I am about to say is just an attempt to connect the dots and complete the logical picture! I do believe that the grand hand of the divinity has a definite place in the creation of the universe, mankind and other species. For me, the holy trinity would ideally consist of 1.the divine energy - Adi Para Sakthi, 2. souls (male or female or others) and 3. the Prakruti itself.     But other forces of shaping also prevailed such as evolution and involution. We have to again view evolution in the context of the Prakruti and in the context of the other souls! I am currently unable to think of a proper logical sequencing of events that happened, at the point of ‘Big Bang’, But I do have certain opinions about how things started getting in place. I pray to the almighty Adi Para Sakthi and the protagonist’s team to guide me to write about the truths/facts only, as much as possible. 1.      Adi Para Sakthi existed for eternity and is still ruling over us.   2.      The first aspect of creation was MAHAT or the canvas of dark energy and dark matter.   3.      Certain things might have started in parallel such as- a.      Evolution of Prakruti b.      Evolution of the living forces From here on, the below set of events might have happened in any sequence or as parallel events As part of evolution of the Prakruthi, the below creation steps might have happened.       Please refer to my article on – The Construct of the Universe – Part 2 - https://www.mayoan.com/post/10-the-construct-of-the-universe-part-2 I quote from that article: As per some contents of puranas I have come across, the dissolution of the universe during the pralaya (deluge) time happens as follows: First the deluge (water) appears and breaks the earth - Earth is gone Next fire vaporises water - Water is gone Then air removes fire and ashes - Fire is gone Then the space sucks in the air - Air is gone MAHAT removes the space - Space is gone Finally, MAHAT itself is gone (assuming most of the souls has experienced the great merge) In the creation, (say at the big bang), the reverse was expected to have happened during the creation of the Prakruti. First MAHAT is formed Next Space is drawn Air/Prana/Gases fills in the space adequately Fire follows Air Water follows Fire Earth forms over water   5.    All the cosmic grand events can be attributed to the above creation or dissolution related events! And we have to expect the 2nd and subsequent derivative actions besides the integrated effects from the combination of the above distinct events, some of which may be on a grand display in the cosmic canvas.   6.      Black holes may mean any of the below 2 events too: a.      Glimpse into the continuum of dark energy/dark matter b.      Glimpse into the nothingness wrapping Adi Para Sakthi Both of the above can serve as a form of universal sinks. The first one can also serve as a source.   7.    Adi Para Sakthi might have created Nithyasuris - Nithyasuris are eternally liberated souls in Hindu philosophy, particularly within the context of Vedanta, representing those who exist in a state of perpetual service to the divine. Nithyasuris can be considered as the governors of the universe. Initially they might have consisted of both the protagonist and the antagonist with equal strengths (ICCHA SAKTHI). They might have created their own teams and interests. Based on the learnings from the past creation cycles, protagonist might have been favoured more too. A hierarchy might have evolved among the nithyasuris during the formative years and power struggle would have happened both in the physical and mental realms. In the physical realm, great devastating wars would have been fought and in the mental realm, the good and evil forces may have used their respective ICCHA SAKTHIs to let loose , boons, curses and rules to gain control of the universe! Coupled with Maya ( https://www.mayoan.com/post/38-work-of-maya-in-our-inner-faculties ) and the complete failure of order, no one perhaps could figure out who the real protagonist was and who the real antagonist was and in those formative years utter chaos and mayhem remained.   8.     The existence of nithyasuris may lead to some thoughts such as – the fast-expanding universe might not have evolved uniformly. The places where nithyasuris stayed would have matured fast to support their existence.   9.     Language was not existing and all communications among nithyasuris, at least, initially were happening up till the feeling/emotional layers (Pashyanti as per the vak system – please refer to https://www.mayoan.com/post/33-the-vak-system-or-the-system-of-speech-in-humans ) only and were facial expressions/grunts of various kind just like the cave men of our lineage. This was the case at least till the nithyasuris understood about the act of meditation. Then probably they heard the Vedic hymns released by the big bang and arrived at the knowledge of creating a language as a platform to communicate. Eventually they were able to communicate better and as part of evolution, many alphabet systems and languages started developing too. From Shruti (what is heard), evolved the Smriti (what is memorized) form of language and eventually this too evolved into written format (palm leaf manuscripts) and then into the printed formats.   10.  Initially creation involved sexual union among the Nithyasuris to procreate. The idea of ‘soul’ was till then non-existent or not discovered. The sexual union, in an ad hoc way produced ‘soul’ too and attached it to the womb. Idea of ‘death’ or time was not existing for some more time. Some puranas also talk about other forms of creation such as – Manasa Shristi – Creation by thought Jarayavee Shristi – Creation by womb Anda Shristi – Creation by egg Swedaja Shristi – Creation from sweat Udbhijja Shristi – Creation from the sprouting of seeds Eventually the creation also included evolution and other aspects such as cell divisions/aggregations supporting new forms/functions, the concept of the survival of the fittest, grafting as a means to reproduce, regeneration, development of the chakra system as part of involution and so on and so forth. In the formative years, the protagonists or the antagonists might have used their ICCHA SAKTHI too to support creation of the species’ that would aid them in their endeavours. 11.  The idea of discrimination and the subsequent idea about good and evil led to the idea of Karma, which then evolved into the idea of ‘soul’ as a permanent entity that can be used to account for good and bad karmas. All these measures and counter measures were set in place by the antagonist and the protagonist forces continuously which led to the proverbial good vs evil wars. The souls became permanent entity and they started dotting the universe at various places in various densities waiting for their place and time to take birth.   12.  At some point, time became a fundamental tenet of the universe, and the concept of death and reincarnation got in place.   13.  With death came the idea of involution, that subsequently led to the idea of the path to eternal liberation or ‘mukthi’.   14.  The spinning, expanding, forging, heating etc., forces started evolving the universe to a place where it is now. All this happened, while the tree of life was blossoming too. Good and evil forces started consolidating their positions in the animal kingdoms, plant kingdoms, marine kingdoms and in the bird kingdoms supporting the creation and evolution of various species of their kind. Similarly in a cosmic sense, various realms got associated with the good and evil forces. Probably, the fight was also taken to the microscopic worlds too. 15.  In the human form, the development of mental faculties and the corresponding maturity of the chakra system inside his body, made him walk erect from being a crouching species. Considering the wars between good and evil and the many great extinctions - both in the context of this earth and in the context of the universe, the creational aspects might have happened more than once with different degrees of maturity seen among the species in each creational phase. Evolution and involution might have been reset several times in the past as a consequence to the wars that happened between the good and evil forces. 16.  The fight between good and evil was also taken to the realms of inner faculties of human and other species. Involution is the process of removing the 3-malas or imperfections ( https://www.mayoan.com/post/the-3-imperfections ) to gain mukthi or the eternal liberation.

Reincarnation is also a fundamental tenant of the universe – very much like free-will, Law of Karma, Adi Para Sakthi and the other 3 types of energy, Time, Space, Panchabhootas (mass related), Andakaranas (inner faculties), Soul etc., Reincarnation is the process by which the accumulated/unspent fruits of action(sometimes in thoughts/sometimes in action), called as Karma, in a particular birth, push the soul, at the current death of the physical form, to take birth in a certain form matching with the capabilities that will help the soul expend its current load of Prarabdha Karma in the shortest time possible. In the context of the Reincarnation, we should know the below points: Currently, the peak of the evolution is the human species and hence all the progressions through various reincarnations (species), ideally end up in a human form, after which, the soul is supposed to get higher and finer intelligence and enlightenment and start/progress-along the involution process finally leading to ‘Mukthi’ or the ultimate liberation.   A human life can be considered as well lived, even if he/she is not able to ascend to heavens (!), and he/she is able to be born as a human again in his/her next birth!   Please consider the following dialogue that supposedly happened in the past between a Sangam poet (Avvaiyar) and Lord Murugan – a Tamil deity: Lord Murugan Asks:  Avvaiyare, what is rare? Avvaiyar: Rare it is! Rare it is! To be born a human is most venerable; even more revered is to be born as a human without a hump on the back, blindness, deafness or sickness. Also rare is to have the free will to seek knowledge, to learn and to have the ability to do charity/help others.   There is the ‘Path of Ascendence’, which holds those intelligent beings including certain animals, birds, marine-animals and plants (using both our spiritual/scientific intelligence, we need to investigate more to get this list) which are likely to be born into a human form upon a well lived life.   There is this ‘Path of Descendance’, which holds those beings that can naturally accept a soul that was previously in the human form. Such human forms might have lived a sub-optimal life, including excessive indulgences in the basic activities (food, sleep, sex) or a life full of violence and bad karmas. These species in the ‘Path of Descendance’ might be thriving with those activities that was done excessively by the departed human soul. The ‘Law of Karma’ may think that the departed sub-optimal human soul neither has learnt its lesson nor is content with whatever was done excessively and hence it de-promotes the soul and forces it into a species where the overindulgences can be experienced to the point of saturation. At the point of saturation, it takes the next in line higher birth in a higher form!   Animals/Birds/Plants/Marine species that die as food to other life forms take a higher form of birth in its next life. Ideally those species that become non-vegetarian foods should be located neither from the ‘Path of Ascendance’ nor from the ‘Path of Descendance’. Humans- especially those who are non-vegetarian should focus on knowing the traits of those animals/birds/marine-animals before deciding to consume them. Such animals/birds/marine-animals that are butchered for food should be given all decent levels of living experiences up until its final moments. I strongly de-test any mechanized/automated execution methods for these butchered species.   Sometimes, due to divine intervention or by accidents, or by the way of experiencing deaths, a lower ranked species can skip rank and hierarchy and take the form of a higher species. Similarly, due to divine curse, or by accidents or by the way of living and accumulating bad karma, a higher ranked species can skip rank and hierarchy and take the form of a lower species. It is very much like a deadly game of ‘Snakes and Ladders’! I always emphasize that the ‘Law of Karma’ is brutal in dispensing justice! It may not be a fairy tale indeed if a man becomes a frog or vice-versa!   If the humans, as a species, out of arrogance coming from their superior status, continues with their exploitation of this planet with gross disregard to the other species and/or do not take care of their over-indulgences and overflowing bad karmas (individual and group), the divine energy aided amply by Law of Karma may eventually downgrade their apex status. Thus, instead of progression the human species will wake up in the path of regression and decline. (We should not forget our hunter gatherer fore-fathers!). At the same time, some other marine or land or sky species may take lead amply aided by the divine energy and ‘Law of Karma’! Not knowing certain things is different from knowing and continuing with the same!   Certain higher and finer souls including the protagonist takes birth again and again to restore justice and truth. These wars could have been or is still being fought in the physical (evolution) and mental(involution) realms. To prove a point and to strengthen the ‘Law of Karma’, these higher and finer souls will go through forced births including being born in lower order of species, experiencing the worst travails of life and still prevailing as a noble existence.  Sometimes, even if they are born in the higher species, they may be forced to be born with impaired mental and physical capabilities. But, despite grave odds and travails, they will prove their noble worth eventually and thus strengthen the 'Law of Karma'. In all their, avatars or reincarnations, these higher and finer souls will be seen in pursuit-of-excellence! If the protagonist and his team win, every body in the universe wins and hence the divine energy will be in a state of bliss, mercy and effulgence!   Till the antagonist is fully vanquished, certain vile and diabolic souls take birth again and again to turn the universal order to chaos and mayhem-, in both the physical (evolution) and mental(involution) realms. Sometimes, these vile and diabolic souls may be escaping the ‘Law of karma’ only because of any remaining ICCHA SAKTHI possessed by the antagonist and his team. Nevertheless, eventually the ‘Law of Karma’ catches up! These demonic forces is always keen to change how the 'Law of Karma' evaluates us. They want the 'Law of Karma' to accept their way of life as the right way of life! I shiver to think what if that happens - a universe filled with bloodlust, violence and gore with scant or no regards to the females in general and no place/safety/honor or a decent status for a human female in specific! If the antagonist and his team win, only those with power (self or through command), wealth and status will be apparently in control and most of the rest of the universe will be in gloom and despair and thus the state of the divine energy will be disturbed, and in disparity and darkness! In such a state of darkness, rather than species' being in pursuit of excellence, we may witness overindulgences in activities considered as giving extreme pleasures - including and not limited to the basic activities (food, sleep and sex). Again these basic activities take on distorted and diabolic forms such as - Food -> increased non-vegetarianism, rise of cannibalism, interest in tamasic consumptions etc., Sleep -> sleep depravations, drug induced intoxications, rise in alcohol consumption etc., Sex - orgies and all other unacceptable forms of sexual activities such as sadomasochism. Unacceptable combinations of any of the above 2 or all 3 or its derivatives may surface leading to loss of faith in the goodness of the universe. But I strongly believe that with all the trials and tribulations of noble souls of this universe, the 'Law of Karma' has taken a clear and decisive stand to support the right dharma and hence I also believe that the wheels of the 'Law of Karma' is slowly grinding the ICCHA SAKTHI or any other forms of sakthi seen supporting the antagonist and his/her teams, to dust!   References: https://sudharmaa.wordpress.com/2018/05/19/sudharma-page-10-enable/ Hari Om!

Omnist’ is relatively a new word arising in the early 18th century.  I consider myself to be an omnist because I believe that there are lots of good religions espousing good principles and support open mindedness and is full of good people. I also believed that a religion is culture induced, and spiritualism stands for universal truths and ways of workings of the universe. Quoting from the References: An  omnist  is a person who believes in all faiths or creeds, recognizing that each religion contains elements of truth. They adhere to the philosophy of  omnism , which posits that no single faith has an absolute monopoly on spiritual reality, and that all religions possess unique aspects of wisdom. Omnists are characterized by their open-mindedness and respect for diverse religious traditions. How an antagonist or protagonist or the divine energy is named in different religious and spiritual texts may be different. My home religion is “Hinduism” and I am proud of its profoundness, reach and accomplishments. For example, In Hinduism, the divine manifestation is mentioned as ‘Adi Para Sakthi’ and is recognized as a divine feminine energy. Please refer to my article on Maya on our inner faculties at - https://www.mayoan.com/post/38-work-of-maya-in-our-inner-faculties . Quoting from the above article- If we look at the state of our ancient literature, we can understand how a very determined force of the antagonist in the role of an historian, philosopher or statesman or such can weave a Maya that stays unremoved for thousands of years! May the forces of the protagonist win and remove this kind of Maya to spread truth and enlightenment. For the antagonist, one of the most effective ways to create divisive and inimical forces is to create differences. Differences can arise in the form of races, languages, cultures, religions, beliefs, regional affiliations etc., We, as advanced and intelligent souls, should defeat this intention to use differences to foster issues and mistrusts and instead use the differences to foster innovation, acceptance and enrichment. In this process, we have to defeat all 3 modes of the antagonist forces- misinformation, mal-information and hiding of the truths. As an omnist we should respect all good religions and good spiritual practices. I feel the same respect and adoration when I enter a church or a Buddhist vihara as when I enter a Hindu temple of Adi-Para Sakthi. At the same time, we should expect the same respect for our religion that we show for the other religions as the tenets of any religion is deriving from the underlying culture of the region. By having an open mind, we do not close many of the intellectual stimulations that can come from respecting other cultures and religions. The term 'Hindu' is a term coined by the British for the majority of the native people when they arrived in India and established their rule. Before that the term used was 'Sanatana Dharma' - this is not a proper 'nounified' name! It simply means - 'The Eternal Way' and is considered as representing a very open minded spiritualism.   References: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnism https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zkkck2p/revision/6# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San%C4%81tana_Dharma Hari Om!

I thought I would discuss a bit more on the karma based on what I blogged at https://www.mayoan.com/post/49-the-field-of-karma . A cause (karmic load) and a trigger (event) is needed to generate an effect. The cause and trigger or the chain reaction of these creates an effect or a group of effects on an individual or a group or both. The effect by itself cannot be a cause or karma again. Besides being end results or Phala (fruits of actions/thoughts), this effect can also be an action or thought by an individual or group or both. Again, besides thoughts expressions/emotions can also be end- effects. The thoughts had to be out of free will.  Only these expressed actions/thoughts/expressions/emotions get converted into karma again. The effects of actions are tangible to everyone. But, what about the effect of thoughts and expressions/emotions? How can these generate karma? An individual upon experiencing the Phala of a karma can – 1.      Physically react in someone(action) 2.      Start crying out of pain (expression) 3.      Get angry and his face may contort (emotion) 4.      Receive cash in his account 5.      He may become happy upon receiving the cash 6.      Feel a shock that he assimilates inside Let us look at each of the above samples and think about the possible outcomes. Please remember that other outcomes are also possible. But the idea is that the effects need not be always an action or chain of actions. It can also be thoughts and expressions that may have potential to generate additional actions that may lead to new karmas being generated or old karmas being expended. 1.     Since this was a physical action (setting a garland or beating) on somebody, new Karma is expected to be generated/expended. 2.     His crying draws the attention of near-by ones and further karma may be generated/expended. 3.     His facial distortion out of anger causes resentment that was noticed by others and further chain of events may be expected thereby expending/generating new karma. 4.   Receiving of cash is an end-effect itself. But independent action of spending of this cash can expend/generate further karma. 5.     A happy state of mind is the end Phala of a cause and a trigger and may not generate additional chains of actions. 6.     A shock assimilated inside may not generate/expend additional karmas as a chain reaction. Similarly, we can analyse and dissect all the group actions and its results. The effect as actions/emotions/expressions can end by itself as an end Phala or may generate additional actions/emotions/expressions as a chain reaction. Hari Om!

Anger – can be, broadly, considered to be of 2 kinds. A 'just' anger that is in the shape of a bell curve with a broad spread and an 'unjust' anger that is represented by a narrow spike.     Any justified anger needs an important precursor – to feel the wisdom or justice at heart, before allowing the anger to manifest. Let us look at the characteristics of a wide-spread anger: This is usually the ‘just’ anger backed by the feel of wisdom or justice at heart. Throughout the entire spread, there are always opportunities to resolve the anger and dissipate it. It takes time for the entire spread to dissipate – so a just anger takes time to build and takes time to leave. The anger goes through a building phase (till it hits the peak) and such a just anger is expressed in multiple ways such as – o   Indignation o   Silence o   Resentment o   Withdrawal o   Retorts o   Extempore Responses and o   Planned Responses Another man/woman of wisdom will understand the above responses and the phase of anger associated with and will take constructive steps to diffuse the anger at the earliest. Men/Women of respect, allow anger to dissipate at the earliest opportunity; since they know anger is a ‘Poison Tree’. Once it becomes a fight for survival, and is near the peak, they will make sure that such an anger expressed, gets the desired effect such as – o   Making sure the cause of anger is eliminated o   Making sure that the opponent who is the reason for the anger is put in his place. They will make sure that the opponent is in a place where they want before letting go. o   If they are not in a position of strength, they will wait for the right time and opportunity to materialize during the period of anger. o   Build any necessary control measures to leverage the lessons learned and to ensure that such a situation may not materialize again. Any peace plan should be discussed early on. A peace plan proposed near the peak will likely take more time to get accepted. The just anger of good Godmen/Godwomen or even a temple priest (who is religiously fixated with his sacraments and rituals including the chanting of mantras) – should be feared as they have a good strength of ICCHA SAKTHI through their practices and are also expected to have the innate ability to feel the wisdom at heart. A curse through such a conditioned ICCHA SAKTHI can be sometimes devastating. So as an energy loyalist, the true strength of a person comes from his ICCHA SAKTHI (expected to grow over time and as he/she spiritually matures more) and for a mass loyalist, the true strength of a person comes from his physical strength (expected to grow weak over a time). As we all know, becoming a self-knowing ‘inner’ person is the process of involution and this is a desired outcome. A person with the ability to feel anger in such a measured way with a desire to dissipate it at the earliest in a just manner need no anger management lessons or therapy because such an ‘anger’ – much like ‘friction’, is a necessary evil.  Anger – if managed properly helps us diffuse the pent-up feelings in a right way. Similar to the anger of an individual, and while being influenced by the maturity of the society, even groups can be swayed by anger and there is no harm if such an anger is a just anger and is controlled by wisdom. An unresolved 'just' anger can grow over time to unexpectedly levels - this anger is commonly termed 'Rowthram', and is usually seen against the persistent manifestation of malevolent evils! Examples of this type of anger is a good revolution (group) and expression through arts and words (individual). Sometimes, this type of anger can be evil too which is termed as 'Unmathham' or frenzy and can lead to situations like genocide (group) or psychotic behaviours (individual).   Let us look at the characteristics of a narrow-spread anger: They are sharp and spike like. They can appear any number of times in a given period in a person who may be considered immature and ignorant. They do not have a strong and justified manifesting reason but is likely to be an outcome of strong emotions only or stupidity (such as a feeling of invincibility) or a momentary feeling of being let out or being cheated. A single event or even a mild experience can trigger such an inferior form of anger. They may result in abnormal behaviours such as outburst, suicide etc., or can make a person resort to severe verbal/physical confrontations that is likely to introduce long standing problems in life. If a person expresses such an inferior form of anger at an increased frequency, such a person may lose his standing and respect in the society. He/she may need anger management therapy sessions. Such an anger can be treated in several ways including and not limited to psychological therapy sessions, soothing music, contact with nature, good food and ambience, good meaningful friendships, focus on in-pursuit of excellence and listening to discourses and talks by people of wisdom. Examples of this type of anger are group frenzy (group) and road-rage (individual) Sometimes this type of anger can manifest as good anger too such as spontaneous protests (group) or a good father's anger towards his child (individual). Can anger end abruptly - instead of tapering down? Yes- A child can do it with its innocence If an even greater cause appears in the horizon of events Hari Om!

Please refer to the first part of the article, if you have not done this before - https://www.mayoan.com/post/49-the-field-of-karma . What I am proposing further on the field of Karma is purely my opinion from my deductive reasoning. When I think about the natural processes and object states, actions, forces and interactions, I always think that the state of affairs as seen from a given field of study is trying to remind us about similar processes existing somewhere else in a same or different field of study. Please refer to my other articles on economy and Neti-Neti to know how I see this phenomenon. ( https://www.mayoan.com/economy/15.-interpreting-nature-to-improve-an-economy  and https://www.mayoan.com/post/59-neti-neti-part-3-about-the-concept-of-infinity ). On similar lines, I think the field of karmic energy follows the principles of vector field with some advanced concepts still ADHRSTA to us. At least some of the vector variables operating in this karmic fields are given below. Since the magnitude is not known to us at any point, I replace it with some low-level segmentations that I call as variations. There can be other powerful vector variables (like time, space, mass, energy, astral mass, astral energy, dark mass, dark energy and other continuums related to the inner science of an individual soul and/or the inner science of the Prakruti itself etc.,) that are operating in this field that can be added later to our consideration as we improve our knowledge about this field. To start with, we can keep the assumptions simple and proceed. Complex conditions can be considered later. While we know that more vector variables can be added as we proceed, the vector variable variations can be refined and/or consolidated/expanded latter as we gain more insights. But I deliberately use different variation names for Group Karma and Individual Karma in terms of scalar quantity (magnitude or size of karma) and the vector direction (in having a positive or negative impact as interpreted by a sane human mind).  When these vectors, say group karmic vectors and the karmic field of an individual collide and interact, I expect some kind of transformers (ADHRSTA to us as of now), that convert these magnitudes and directions into the common minimum denominators before releasing the composite end action effects. Some of the end action effects can be – a start of a disease, or a suffering of a disease, or a promotion or a stretch in time of a state or a shrinking of benefits etc., The possible imagination of vector variables in this field can be: 1.      Group Karma – variations: Positive, Negative 2.      Group Karma magnitude – variations: Huge, Medium, Small 3.      Individual Karma – variations: Plus, Minus 4.      Individual Karma – variations: Heavy, Moderate, Light 5.    Action Effect – variations: Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Backward, Outward, Inward, Stretch, Relax, Shrink etc 6. etc., Please note the assumptions involving the above karmic field variables: 1.      A person may belong to more than one group and is expected to be participating actively. The karmic load of a single group is divided into partitions that equal the number of members in that group. The cadence is ADHRSTA, but I think based on the activities of the group the cadence of division can be safely assumed.    2.      If a person belongs to more groups, then each of the karmic-load-partitions can be added as a scalar quantity (after reducing the outcome to a common denominator -ADHRSTA) to the individual.   3.      Say, an individual may be having more +ve Karma than the groups -ve Karma and vice versa and hence the final composite vector direction may be aligned to the same direction or at an angle or directly opposite to each other’s direction of force projection.   4.      The individual’s sum total karmic load – (positive or negative) is the key that attracts the impact of surrounding group karmic load fields on him. This is expected to be true, since we do not expect a highly obnoxious individual to benefit from a mere membership of a group that has a heavy +ve karmic load! Similarly, say a doctor in a war-torn country with a good intention may not suffer the consequences of the karmic field of war that has surrounded the country in which he operates. But the fact that he is in a high-risk(rewards or the losses can be huge) situation still means that his individual karma is directing him so for possibly a further +ve or -ve action effect.    5.      I have tried to provide some crude illustrations below to explain how this composite karmic field may be acting.   6.      Some vector additions can be as follows: A good individual donating money for education several times in a year A good employee participating in CSR initiatives of a good organization   7.      Some vector subtractions can be as follows: A country with huge +ve karmic load going to war with a neighbouring country in an unjust manner An individual who cheats when dealing hands in a casino who donates a penny to a beggar   8.      Some vector multiplications can be as follows: A good person whose good karmic load is multiplied by an unknown value due to his presence as part of a large organization that spawns several group karmic force fields. (A military man of a country who does not subscribe to all of the group karmic force fields spawned by his mother/father country) A good doctor succeeding as part of a R&D team in discovering a highly effective medicine.   9.      Some vector divisions can be as follows: A person from crime syndicate donating to a church A philanthropic person committing a crime of passion or effecting a pre-planned murder.    10.  We talked about reducing to common denominators before in this article. For this we may need some kind of transformers which are ADHRSTA to us but which can be sensed to be present because of how clues lead us. Some of the transformers may be the below ones: Transformer that adds different +ve karmic vectors Transformers that subtracts different -ve karmic vectors Transformers that multiples or divides karmic load vectors Transformers to deduce the set of action elements Transformers that mash up the force and magnitudes of similar fields We also need transformers that calculate the below set of interactions: Group(s) to group(s) Group(s) to individual(s) Individual(s) to group(s) Individual(s) to Individual(s) Transformers to factor in the other fields of influence Etc.,   One example of a transformer function is as below: Assume that 2 countries are at war and the end result is that the karmic loads exist for the country as group only (assuming the normal soldier just attended his call of duty and hence not incurred any individual karmic load). We may need a transformer if this large karmic field has to be converted into a uniform load on all citizens. Some group level karmic loads may not convert into individual loads, instead they may manifest as an appropriate climatic condition over the lands of the concerned groups. This article is a attempt to present an idea on karmic field of interactions, since the puzzle of life is equally perplexing to a spiritualist as well as a scientist. I sincerely hope to kick start some activities by interested persons to know more on the karmic field at least in a rudimentary sense initially.
